Abstract A simple, rapid LC method is presented for the separation and determination of acetaminophen in analgesic preparations containing up to 6 additional active components. The method uses a C18 reverse phase column, methanol–0.75% acetic acid (1 + 3) mobile phase, and photometric detection in the ultraviolet region. Acetaminophen was effectively separated from chlorpheniramine maleate, phenylephrine hydrochloride, caffeine, salicylamide, aspirin, and phenacetin, as well as from salicylic acid, a degradation product of aspirin. Typical chromatograms of the separation of acetaminophen from the above compounds in synthetic mixture and in commercial multicomponent analgesic preparations are presented, along with reproducibility and recovery data.

Abstract A stability indicating liquid chromatographic method for the determination of diazepam in tablets was collaboratively studied by 6 laboratories. The method uses a Cig reverse phase column, a methanolwater mobile phase, p-tolualdehyde as the internal standard, and photometric detection at 254 nm. The collaborators were supplied with a synthetic tablet powder and 3 commercial tablet samples. The mean recovery of diazepam from the synthetic tablet powder was 100.2%. For all samples analyzed, the coefficient of variation was < 1.5%. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract Reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ion-pairing is used for the determination of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in combination with triprolidine hydrochloride or chlorpheniramine maleate in sirups and tablets. Sirups require a preliminary column chromatography cleanup step. Response is linear for pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (range of 0–20 μg), chlorpheniramine maleate (range of 0–1.3 μg), and triprolidine hydrochloride (range of 0–1.0 μg). Recoveries from synthetic formulations were 98.8–101.3% for pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, 100.0–101.2% for chlorpheniramine maleate, and 97.7–99.8% for triprolidine hydrochloride. The coefficient of variation for the method is less than 1%.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method has been developed as a general procedure for the assay of the salts of organic nitrogenous bases in a variety of dosage forms. The method uses a nitrile-bonded reverse phase column, a methanol-0.003M ammonium acetate (90 + 10) mobile phase, and photometric detection at 254 nm. The sample is dissolved in the mobile phase and an aliquot is injected through a 20 μL injection loop. Average recovery values for duplicate assays were chlorpheniramine maleate injection 97.8%, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets 99.1%, cyclizine hydrochloride tablets 100.0%, doxylamine succinate tablets 103.3%, mesoridazine besylate tablets 100.4%, pentazocine hydrochloride tablets 103.0%, promethazine hydrochloride injection 98.4%, protriptyline hydrochloride tablets 101.2%, pyrilamine maleate tablets 97.8%, pyrimethamine tablets 100.0%, tripelennamine citrate elixir 100.0%, and tripelennamine hydrochloride tablets 97.2%. Results by this method were in good agreement with those obtained by the USP XX method. This study, which is being continued, will be expanded to include additional drugs.

Abstract A rapid, reliable separation and quantitation of zoalene (3,5-dinitroo-toluamide) from feeds is accomplished by using reverse phase liquid chromatography (LC) and ultraviolet detection. An extraction technique which is similar to the present AOAC official colorimetric method is used before chromatographic analysis. This extraction is followed by an activated alumina cleanup and LC to separate zoalene from feed matrix. The methodology was applied to a variety of spiked feed matrices, and yielded good recoveries. Liquid chromatographic results were shown to correlate with colorimetric determinations.

Abstract Chlorophacinone and diphacinone are extracted at the 0.005% level from grain or paraffinized baits with glacial acetic acid. The target concentration is 0.01 mg/mL. The filtered supernate is chromatographed on a Partisil PXS ODS10/25 liquid chromatography column with premixed and degassed glacial acetic acid-tetrahydrofuran-water (14 + 2 + 9) and detected at 288 nm. The concentration is calculated by using an external standard. The recovery from spiked samples averaged 96.6% for both analytes. The response is linear from 0.001 to 0.040 mg/mL. The coefficient of variation of within-day replicates ranged from 1.1 to 2.5%.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the determination of sulfite in grapes and certain grape products. Sulfite is extracted from grapes with aqueous formaldehyde solution buffered at pH 5; free sulfite is converted to hydroxymethylsulfonate (HMS), which is extremely stable at pH 3-7. Subsequent heating to 80°C for 30 min converts reversibly bound forms of sulfite to HMS. The extract is then analyzed by reverse-phase ion-pairing liquid chromatography, using a Cjg column and a mobile phase of aqueous 0.005M tetrabutylammonium ion in 0.05M acetate, pH 4.7, and a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Aqueous KOH is added to the eluate to convert HMS to free sulfite, which is then treated with 5,5'-dithiobis[2-nitrobenzoic acid]. This reaction produces the 3-carboxy-4-nitrothiophenolate anion, which is determined by measurement of electronic absorption at 450 nm. For grapes spiked with HMS at 5-20 ppm (as S02), recoveries ranged from 92 to 112%, with a coefficient of variation of 4.6%. The method was also used to determine sulfite in various grape products. Results were comparable to those obtained by the AOAC official Monier-Williams method.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the individual determination of benzoic and cinnamic acids in 2 benzoin preparations is presented. The method specifies a reverse phase column and 0.01M KH2P04- methanol (85 + 15) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.8 mL/min, with detection at 254 nm. The method has been applied to 2 benzoin preparations and the results were compared with those from the British Pharmacopoeia method.

Abstract An LC method for the determination of methiocarb in methiocarb technical and formulated products has been subjected to a collaborative study with 9 participating collaborators. Formulations are extracted with acetonitrile and analyzed by reverse phase chromatography, with acetophenone as an internal standard. Collaborators were furnished samples of technical, 75% wettable powder, 75% seed treater, 75% concentrate, and 50% hopper box treater. Coefficient of variation values obtained on the 5 samples were 0.71, 0.83, 0.62, 1.57, and 0.82%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of carminic acid in yogurt. A C18 column is used with acetonitrile-1.19M formic acid (19 + 81) as mobile phase and diode array detection. Sample preparation includes deproteinization with papain and purification in a polyamide column. The relative standard deviation for repeated determinations of carminic acid in a commercial strawberry-flavored yogurt was 3.0%. Recoveries of carminic acid added to a natural-flavored yogurt ranged from 87.2 to 95.3% with a mean of 90.2%. The method permits measurement of amounts as low as 0.10 mg/kg.
